FIT Fixer — What's New

#632 2026-08-24 A new donation banner for Polk medical evacuation services now appears first in the rotating banner carousel.

#630 2026-08-21 View counts now appear on shared activity links, showing how many times each link has been visited, with distance breakdowns and location type icons displayed on the public shared page just like the detailed analysis view.

#629 2026-08-20 Activity dates now show in your local timezone and language, track colors match the main map, crossed areas are now green instead of orange, and you can click any area in the list or on the map to zoom in and highlight it.

#628 2026-08-20 You can now share individual activity analyses with a simple public link that shows the map and statistics for that specific workout, without needing to sign in.

#627 2026-08-20 Fixed a bug where data for smaller administrative regions in Latvia was being downloaded correctly but then thrown away before being saved, so users never saw them.

#626 2026-08-16 My map now only shows region outlines for countries you've actually explored, and Latvia's data will refresh properly when needed.

#625 2026-08-16 Fixed map loading delays and incorrect country labels for Denmark and Latvia that appeared after a recent update.

#624 2026-08-16 Fixed a bug where Latvia's data wasn't being fetched correctly through the admin interface, and set up automatic detection to fill in missing location information when activities cross between regions.

#623 2026-08-16 Fixed the legend blocking the fullscreen button on maps, made the share page wider to better display all information, and added the ability to show countries on the main map view.

#622 2026-08-15 When you update which countries are tracked, existing activity records are now instantly reclassified to match the new settings instead of staying invisible, and the map loads faster by avoiding duplicate computations.

#621 2026-08-15 Fixed a bug where the map appeared to fail to load even though it was fully displayed and working correctly.

#620 2026-08-15 Fixed map showing Russian and Belarusian regions where they shouldn't appear, districts incorrectly displaying zero coverage, and flags not responding to clicks.

#619 2026-08-15 The map now shows country-level data for the 8 swept countries, correctly displays regional boundaries for each country, and filters out any accidental data from unswepped areas.

#618 2026-08-14 The map sharing interface has been redesigned for a better user experience.

#617 2026-08-14 The map sharing page now shows separate tabs for countries, regions, and cities with detailed maps and improved filtering, excludes Russia and Belarus from public views, and loads much faster.

#616 2026-08-14 Fixed a map drawing error that was hiding Sumy region by correcting an inaccurate border line that extended too far into Ukraine.

#615 2026-08-14 Made the map display faster and more accurate when showing region boundaries in batches.

#614 2026-08-14 Improved performance of loading map regions and removed Russia and Belarus from available locations.

#613 2026-08-14 Fixed a bug where the app's startup cache preparation was being immediately undone by the next request, causing map loading to still fail.

#612 2026-08-14 Fixed the remaining issues that were causing the map to load slowly.

#611 2026-08-14 Improved performance when viewing maps and fixed the accuracy of total calculations.

#610 2026-08-13 Fixed performance issues with maps and corrected totals to show when data is incomplete instead of appearing artificially complete.

#609 2026-08-13 Fixed network errors and incorrect coverage percentages over 100% on the map.

#607 2026-08-13 Strava upload descriptions now show only the most significant problem areas (500 meters or longer), with small gaps between issues merged together so the report is clearer and easier to read.

#597 2026-08-13 Saving locality details is now faster and won't unexpectedly refresh your activity list, while the My Localities and My Regions tabs load quicker when you switch to them, and clicking Analyze automatically scrolls the results into view.

#596 2026-08-12 You can now explore how your activities interact with real map boundaries using Strava's data, with the option to save your analysis history if you choose.

#595 2026-08-12 Temporarily turned off a feature that was showing too many incomplete locations on the map, while keeping the ability to turn it back on later.

#594 2026-08-12 The file upload area and Strava import button now appear side by side on larger screens for easier access.

#593 2026-08-12 You can now preview a Strava activity on a map with its details before deciding to fix it.

#592 2026-08-12 The app now correctly fetches corrupted activity data from Strava using a working method instead of a broken one that always failed.

#591 2026-08-11 You can now download a corrupted activity directly from your Strava account to fix it, instead of uploading a file manually.

#590 2026-08-08 Villages that are far from your track but still relatively close are now shown as pending for you to confirm manually, instead of being ignored completely.

#589 2026-08-08 Fixed an issue where the same location could appear as two separate entries in your localities list due to slight differences in how its position was calculated.

#588 2026-08-08 The Locality Explorer can now be accessed from shorter web addresses, and you'll be limited to 20 fix requests per day instead of 100 to prevent abuse.

#587 2026-08-08 When you upload a ride with GPS errors, the app now automatically fixes the broken sections by snapping them to roads instead of drawing straight lines, and you can still edit these sections or switch them back to straight lines if you prefer.

#586 2026-08-07 When GPS loses signal during a ride, the app now correctly distinguishes between time you were actually stopped and time you were moving, rather than assuming you crawled slowly the whole time.

#585 2026-08-07 Manual segment redraws now properly show curved paths through long recording pauses instead of straight lines connecting distant points.

#584 2026-08-06 Fixed an issue where redrawn segments would show straight lines instead of actual GPS data when the recording device used certain pause markers.

#583 2026-08-06 Fixed a bug where the app incorrectly shifted all timestamps in a file to the wrong date when the device's clock jumped forward partway through recording.

#582 2026-08-06 Activities that don't pass through any towns or cities now properly show as analyzed, and their distance breakdown is displayed even when there are no locality crossings.

#580 2026-08-06 Translation keys for Strava Explorer are now generated automatically instead of being manually listed.

#579 2026-08-06 The Locality Explorer now has tests that verify its interface works correctly when connected to data.

#578 2026-08-06 The app now prevents too many requests to Strava from happening at once and stops duplicate background tasks from running.

#577 2026-08-06 Fixed an issue where the same village could appear twice in your localities list if it was recorded as different map feature types (like a point vs an area) in separate activities.

#576 2026-08-06 Reduce unnecessary API calls and improve performance by storing activity route data locally instead of fetching it multiple times.

#558 2026-08-04 You can now check and uncheck the legend items to show or hide map markers by status, the legend stays visible in fullscreen mode, and the map title displays the total number of localities.

#557 2026-08-04 Map markers for new locations now display as green flags instead of red plus signs.

#556 2026-08-03 New localities now show as red plus signs on the map, and you can toggle their visibility with a checkbox in the legend.

#555 2026-08-03 Fixed missing new locality markers when reopening a saved activity, and added a sortable column to show how many new localities each activity has.

#554 2026-08-03 Fixed sorting by first visit date in the localities table, and added visual indicators to highlight newly visited places in the activity details popup and on the map.

#553 2026-08-03 Fixed nightly database backups that were failing with a read-only error by opening the database in read-only mode instead of read-write mode.

#552 2026-08-03 The app now shows you which places you're visiting for the first time, marking them with a badge and tracking the date you first went there, plus automatically mentioning new places in your Strava activity descriptions.

#551 2026-08-03 Fixed an issue where redrawing a segment without using the distance lock would leave a visible straight line on Strava even though the GPS data was correct underneath.

#550 2026-07-30 Fixed an issue where hovering over small unnamed areas on the map showed dramatically inflated numbers of visits, and added a tool to recalculate past data with the correction applied.

#549 2026-07-30 Fixed Ukrainian translation terminology, corrected click instructions in the guide, made activity and location tables easier to read on mobile phones, improved screen reader support for tabs, and added helpful tooltips to clarify urban percentage and pending status indicators.

#548 2026-07-30 A new help page explains how the Strava Locality Explorer automatically recognizes and matches your activities to local areas on the map, shows you statistics about urban versus rural distances, and lets you add these locality details directly to your Strava activity titles and descriptions.

#547 2026-07-29 You can now sort activities by how urban they are, and the map automatically scrolls into view when you analyze or view an activity.

#546 2026-07-29 The app now remembers results from its startup calculations instead of recalculating them every time it restarts, making startup much faster.

#545 2026-07-29 Improved logging visibility by ensuring all application messages are displayed at the appropriate detail level instead of being hidden.

#544 2026-07-29 The app now loads faster on first use and responds quicker when updating location history, by warming up necessary data at startup and only fetching detailed border information when you actually want to see it.

#543 2026-07-29 When you confirm a location on an activity, the app now loads much faster by processing all the location updates together instead of one at a time.

#542 2026-07-29 Fixed slow performance on the regions endpoint by caching geographic boundary calculations so they're not recalculated on every request.

#541 2026-07-29 The app now loads location data much faster by compressing responses, caching results, and processing requests in parallel instead of recalculating everything from scratch each time.

#540 2026-07-28 You can now filter localities by name, the minimum distance for rides defaults to 20 km, and regions show helpful tooltips explaining what counts as nearby settlements and how many lack mapped boundaries.

#539 2026-07-28 Activities you delete or make private on Strava are now automatically removed when you refresh, places with no official boundary are automatically confirmed instead of staying pending forever, and the regions list now shows sortable columns for how many districts and nearby places each region has.

#538 2026-07-24 The app now loads activities, localities, and regions much faster by warming up map data in the background instead of waiting for it to load when you need it.

#537 2026-07-24 You can now sort activities by how many unconfirmed locations they have, making it easier to find which ones need attention.

#536 2026-07-23 Locations you save will now automatically appear on the region map, even if their region boundaries weren't loaded yet.

#535 2026-07-23 You can now toggle locality borders on region maps to see confirmed boundaries as solid green lines and unconfirmed areas as dashed circles, loading only when you turn it on.

#534 2026-07-23 Fixed a bug where incomplete results from the map service were incorrectly saved as complete, causing some areas to show many unconfirmed locations instead of properly mapped ones.

#533 2026-07-22 Fixed a bug where some towns appeared twice on the map in activity analysis when the town's boundary polygon and its center point weren't close enough together.

#532 2026-07-21 Fixed a bug where two different villages with the same name that were about 9 km apart were being incorrectly merged together, causing one village to disappear from the map.

#531 2026-07-21 The 'Backfill regions' and 'Refresh regions' buttons now work properly instead of not responding to clicks.

#530 2026-07-21 Fixed a bug where the Backfill regions button stopped working because an apostrophe in the translated text broke the page's code, preventing the button from responding to clicks.

#528 2026-07-21 Fixed two bugs in the region map: marker tooltips now appear correctly when you hover over them, and all settlements in a district are now shown instead of some mysteriously disappearing.

#527 2026-07-21 Fixed a bug where different villages with the same name in one district were incorrectly merged together, improved map loading speed, and made it possible to click on pending location markers to see their details.

#526 2026-07-21 Fixed a bug where locations confirmed in one activity could still appear as unconfirmed on the region map, improved the map with color-coded markers (red for unvisited), a legend showing visit status counts, hover tooltips with activity details, and a popup to quickly confirm any remaining unconfirmed crossings for a location.

#525 2026-07-19 The activity description now displays locality information in a clearer format, with each location listed on its own numbered line and a breakdown of settlement types organized by region.

#524 2026-07-18 The regions map now loads much faster by organizing data into grid sections before searching, and automatically prepares information in the background so it's ready when you need it.

#523 2026-07-18 Fixed a bug where visited towns were still showing as unvisited in the Regions tab because the system was counting duplicates of the same place separately.

#522 2026-07-17 The total number of localities now shows the actual count across all of OpenStreetMap for each region, and when you click on a region on the map, you'll see its boundary outlined instead of just a pin.

#521 2026-07-17 Locality Explorer: 15 UI/UX fixes and enhancements

#520 2026-07-16 The app now detects and fixes when your device's clock was wrong for an entire activity, shows you the corrected start time, and displays it both in the results and when previewing uploads to Strava.

#519 2026-07-14 Fixed missing country and region information for places in countries like Estonia where administrative divisions are organized differently, and prevented a bug where locations without country data could bypass country filters.

#518 2026-07-14 You can now view and delete your saved locality and region analyses from popup windows that show richer details like country flags, last visited dates, and distance statistics, with improved filtering by country and region.

#517 2026-07-14 You can now filter your activity locations by distance range and country, see region and area breakdowns more clearly with corrected percentages that add up properly, and select multiple areas to focus on specific regions.

#516 2026-07-14 Activity analysis is now much faster because the app stops re-reading and re-processing the same region data over and over, and uses smarter filtering to skip regions that don't overlap with your route.

#515 2026-07-13 You can now remove short border crossings from your activity when they're less than 1 kilometer into a neighboring area, even if the app automatically detected them.

#514 2026-07-13 OpenStreetMap links in the Localities and Regions tabs now open in a popup window on the page instead of a new browser tab.

#513 2026-07-13 The filter bar for the activity list is now simpler, with the date range and minimum count filters removed while keeping the ability to sort by those columns.

#512 2026-07-13 The region panel now correctly displays zoom levels and hierarchy when using percentage-based sizing.

#510 2026-07-13 Regions and districts on the activity map now display as soft colored highlights instead of just outlines, with proper layering so smaller area highlights never disappear behind larger ones.

#509 2026-07-13 The Regions & Districts panel now groups districts under their regions with expandable sections, shows what percentage of your activity distance was in each area, and lets you click any region or district to zoom the map to that location.

#508 2026-07-13 Fixed a bug where districts with centers far from the actual boundary were incorrectly skipped when checking if a track passes through them.

#507 2026-07-13 Fixed misaligned column headers in the Regions table where data was shifting one column to the left starting from Activities.

#506 2026-07-13 Fixed a crash that occurred when viewing the My Regions tab if you had saved regions from before a recent update.

#505 2026-07-13 You can now filter regions and districts by type using toggle buttons, just like you can with localities.

#504 2026-07-13 Fixed a bug where manually saving regions was losing important details and incorrectly labeling them, and improved the accuracy of regional borders to show finer detail.

#503 2026-07-13 You can now see your saved regions organized by state and district with expandable sections, search across them, and view statistics like average distance and ride percentage for each area.

#502 2026-07-13 Activity map now shows region and district borders more accurately, displays how far you traveled inside each one, and the activity details panel lists all regions and districts you crossed with entry points and distances.

#501 2026-07-13 Explore your local rides with new details: see when each area was last checked, how many different types of places you've visited, your average distance per ride, and which regions or districts you've crossed.

#496 2026-07-13 Move action buttons to appear right after checkboxes in the activity list, and change the Analyzed filter from a dropdown to easy-to-click pill buttons.

#495 2026-07-12 The app now automatically saves your review when you've finished checking all nearby crossings in a location, instead of making you find and click the Save button yourself.

#494 2026-07-12 You can now select multiple activities at once to analyze or re-analyze them all in one go, and each activity shows how many locations are still waiting for you to confirm or reject.

#493 2026-07-12 The map now correctly shows which parts of your route are inside a city or town, even if you pass through the same place multiple times.

#492 2026-07-12 The dashed overlay showing where you ran on the track now stays visible when you view a saved activity, just like it does right after analyzing it.

#491 2026-07-12 The map now correctly shows where you exited a segment instead of staying stuck on the wrong location.

#490 2026-07-12 Fixed incorrect dashed overlay display on routes that loop back near themselves, where the exit point was incorrectly matched to a closer earlier section instead of the actual exit.

#489 2026-07-12 Fixed a bug where parts of towns with irregular boundaries were incorrectly hidden from the highlighted route overlay when the route passed through multiple separate sections of the town.

#488 2026-07-11 Village groups created by administrative reforms in Ukraine and Belarus are no longer shown as separate villages in search results.

#487 2026-07-11 Fixed detection of small villages that were being missed or undercounted because the route simplification algorithm wasn't properly checking the actual path taken between waypoints, especially near sharp turns or long straight sections.

#486 2026-07-11 Fixed incorrectly inflated distance calculations when a GPS track passes through multiple villages, which was counting the entire distance between distant GPS points instead of just the actual distance inside each village.

#485 2026-07-11 Fixed a bug where the app was incorrectly reporting that you traveled much farther than you actually did at rest stops by switching to a simpler method that ignores small movements within 15 meters of where you stopped.

#484 2026-07-11 Fixed an issue where the distance traveled inside a locality was incorrectly inflated when GPS signal bounced around slightly while you were stopped, such as during rest breaks on long rides.

#483 2026-07-10 The activity name now appears at the top of the page for easy reference, you can delete saved analysis results to start over, and the app automatically moves to the next nearby location after you confirm or decline one.

#482 2026-07-10 Settlement matching now correctly ignores administrative divisions that have been merged, dissolved, or are shell entities.

#481 2026-07-10 Fixed an issue where the app would download map tiles in the background but fail to save the location information to them, leaving incomplete data even though the download appeared to succeed.

#480 2026-07-10 Localities with the same name are now distinguished by showing their country, region, and district.

#479 2026-07-10 Fixed an issue where the repair links tool would skip locations that already had a borrowed polygon shape, preventing it from properly fixing split athlete data.

#478 2026-07-10 When you open a saved location, it now automatically fixes old links that were pointing to map points instead of better-matching map areas, giving you a proper zoomed view without needing to re-analyze.

#477 2026-07-10 Fixed an issue where saving your localities could create duplicate entries instead of updating old ones when the map location type changes.

#476 2026-07-09 The locality details popup is now wider to prevent activity titles from wrapping and squeezing the date and location columns; the OpenStreetMap link now correctly shows the settlement's borders instead of zooming to a fixed view; and you can now choose how many localities to display per page using a dropdown menu next to the navigation buttons.

#475 2026-07-09 You can now filter your localities using clickable colored tags instead of a dropdown menu, see each locality's ranking by distance covered, and view a summary showing your total localities, distance breakdown by type, unconfirmed crossings, and how much of your activity was in urban versus rural areas.

#474 2026-07-09 You can now see a new tab showing all the places you've visited across your activities, with details about how many times you've been there and how far you traveled in each one.

#473 2026-07-09 The activity list now uses icons instead of text labels for actions, fits better on screen, and works properly on both desktop and mobile devices.

#472 2026-07-09 The Locality Explorer now works better on phones with properly stacked buttons, shows a quick summary of localities and urban percentage for each activity, includes a Details popup to view locality information without loading the full map, and highlights which activity is currently being analyzed.

#471 2026-07-08 Restored missing user interface improvements to the Locality Explorer including a progress bar for saving, activity links, better button layouts, collapsible sections, a reset button, and notification messages.

#470 2026-07-08 Added automated testing to verify that the Strava location page displays correctly when you're not logged in, including checking that the login button appears, the consent checkbox is pre-selected, and the language toggle works without any errors.

#469 2026-07-08 The Locality Explorer now shows progress when saving, makes it easier to confirm or decline nearby activities with dedicated buttons, organizes information under expandable sections, and displays notifications as helpful pop-up messages instead of status text.

#468 2026-07-08 When analyzing an activity fails, you'll now see detailed error messages and can view logs directly from the activity table instead of just a generic error message.

#467 2026-07-08 Fixed a bug where right-clicking on the dashed border of a nearby area wouldn't open the context menu when the border highlight was turned on.

#466 2026-07-08 Confirm and decline buttons now open with a regular left-click instead of right-click, which works more reliably.

#465 2026-07-07 Fixed the right-click menu not appearing on the map by making the invisible click detection layer actually respond to clicks.

#464 2026-07-07 Fixed right-click menu not appearing when clicking on nearby area boundaries that were covered by the GPS track line.

#463 2026-07-07 You can now right-click on uncertain locations near your route to manually confirm you visited them or remove them if you didn't, and your choices are saved so they'll be the same when you view the activity again.

#462 2026-07-07 The app now automatically refreshes map data when it detects the cache has been emptied, so places won't show as circles while waiting for a manual refresh.

#461 2026-07-07 Fixed an issue where locations saved before a recent update would sometimes display as circles instead of their actual boundaries when viewing them, until the location was saved again.

#460 2026-07-07 The app now clearly separates places where your track definitely crossed a mapped boundary from places you passed near but didn't cross, showing each group separately in the results.

#459 2026-07-07 When a place name doesn't match exactly, the system now checks if you're within the actual shape of the place's boundary, not just a fixed circle around its center, so places with real map boundaries are matched more accurately.

#458 2026-07-07 We've cleaned up some temporary debugging code that was added while investigating a location detection issue, which turned out not to be a bug.

#457 2026-07-06 We're now tracking why two villages (Тарасівка and Шарківщина) are detected differently by comparing their exact distances to the actual track path instead of just looking at maps.

#456 2026-07-06 Added temporary diagnostic logging to trace where a specific village name gets filtered out during data processing, helping identify which stage of the pipeline removes it.

#455 2026-07-06 When a village on a long ride isn't found, the diagnostic log now shows which map tiles were actually checked, making it easier to figure out why the village was missed.

#454 2026-07-06 The app now correctly detects when you visit narrow, winding villages by tracking the actual path you take instead of just drawing straight lines between checkpoints.

#453 2026-07-06 The app now logs which location boundaries fail to display properly on the map so we can investigate why some crossings show as circles instead of their actual shapes.

#452 2026-07-06 The app now processes tracking data more efficiently by simplifying the route before checking which areas you've visited, making the feature faster without affecting map display or distance calculations.

#451 2026-07-06 Breaking down the time spent checking for crossing routes into measurable stages to find where the slowdown is happening.

#450 2026-07-06 The test that checks if the language switcher works was timing out in automated testing, so we increased how long it waits for the page to respond from 30 to 60 seconds to account for slower shared servers.

#449 2026-07-06 When you click analyze, the system now uses all available processor cores to finish the analysis faster instead of holding one back.

#448 2026-07-06 Fixed a performance issue where location detection was slow on long trips because the system was checking distant areas that the route never came close to.

#447 2026-07-06 We're now tracking how long each step takes when analyzing large activities from Strava, so we can better understand and improve slow uploads.

#445 2026-07-06 When replaying a saved activity view, the app now displays the borders of local areas you crossed, just like it does when first analyzing the activity.

#444 2026-07-06 Activities you've already analyzed now load instantly without using your API quota, while a button lets you re-analyze them if they've changed on Strava.

#443 2026-07-05 Fixed a bug where unrealistically high speeds from corrupted GPS data at the start of a recording could still appear in speed charts even after the distance was corrected.

#442 2026-07-05 The app now detects when a speed sensor stops working during a ride and the device falls back to using GPS data, preventing fake speed readings from being incorrectly added to your recorded distance.

#441 2026-07-05 Fixed the View button in the saved results section that wasn't responding to clicks.

#440 2026-07-05 Fixed the fullscreen button being hidden behind the map legend, and fixed maps incorrectly dropping disconnected parts of multi-part regions like exclaves.

#439 2026-07-04 You can now view your map in fullscreen, prevent accidentally analyzing the same activity twice at once, and browse all your saved location results organized by athlete and activity.

#438 2026-07-04 You can now see your complete Strava activity history without limits, the explorer loads instantly while fetching older data in the background, administrators can track all Strava connections and analyses with timestamps, and you'll see how long each analysis took to complete.

#437 2026-07-04 You can now see what sport each activity is with an icon and tooltip, quickly spot which ones you've already saved with a green badge, toggle between short and detailed descriptions, see how many times activities crossed between areas, and highlight those border crossings on the map.

#436 2026-07-04 The activity list now shows 10 items per page with navigation controls, can be filtered by sport type, displays privacy icons for each activity, and when you analyze an activity, its description from Strava is automatically filled in with your localities added to the end.

#435 2026-07-04 Faster deployments by removing unnecessary ARM processor builds that were never used in production.

#434 2026-07-04 Fixed the 'Connect account' button on the Strava Locality Explorer so it now works properly instead of being blocked by security settings.

#433 2026-07-04 Connect your Strava account to discover which cities and towns you've run through, update your activity descriptions with these locations, and optionally save this information for future analysis.

#432 2026-07-04 Your database is now automatically backed up every night and stored safely in two places — on the server for two weeks and in the cloud for a month.

#431 2026-07-04 Password managers can now automatically save and fill in your stats login credentials.

#430 2026-07-04 The description preview now updates instantly as you toggle the checkboxes, so you can see exactly what will be uploaded before submitting.

#429 2026-07-03 Fixed a caching issue that prevented some administrative boundaries from appearing in crossing lists even after the underlying parsing bug was fixed.

#428 2026-07-03 You can now retry uploading to Strava directly from the error message instead of starting over from the beginning.

#427 2026-07-03 Fixed a bug where boundary areas with members that don't have a role label would disappear from the map, even though they had valid geometry and proper tags.
